Savage Beach (1989)
5/10
Okay effort a little different from the others triple-Bs
25 September 2019
"Savage Beach" differs from the other films in the series; most of its action takes place in a very confined space after our heroines find themselves stranded without fuel on what must be the most crowded lone island in film history as a lot of players turn up, lured by a gold treasure. Because of this limitation to the island, there's less flying and driving and technical gadgets than in the other Sidaris movies; however the amount of boobs and bombs is up to the usual standard; instead of flying or driving around we now have the ladies stalking through the "jungle" setting; in Dona Speir's case armed with a Steyr AUG which makes it a nice watch for male Austrians like me as this was our standard gun in the army. Sadly my comrades didn't look half as sexy as Dona ...

This was Hope-Marie Carlton's last appearence as Taryn; I'm sorry she got replaced by Roberta Vasquez - while Roberta was arguably the more beautiful one, Hope-Marie had an easygoing and joyful vibrancy which Roberta couldn't match - those happy and mischievous smiles everytime she offed a guy were priceless!

As to acting- while Sidaris' triple-B series seems to be considered some sort of pinnacle of bad acting, that's very exaggerated - no one of the regulars were really good actors, but they were not that bad either. If you want to witness real bad acting, well, we have that too, it's guest "star" Teri Weigel's and it makes you thankful her apperance was strictly one-time - and appreciate the other players some more.

Definitely one of the better entries in the series, 5/10
